    Department of Exercise and Sports Science Fitchburg State University Self-study report for AY14-AY18 March 4, 2019 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Exercise and Sports Science department prepares graduates for professional careers as well as advanced graduate studies in fields such as: physical therapy, occupational therapy, strength & conditioning, cardiac rehabilitation, fitness management, and wellness. The department aims to provide excellence in teaching and learning in the areas of clinical exercise physiology, fitness management, and strength and conditioning. In addition, the EXSS department supports all university students by helping them attain the foundations for personal wellness. Students in the clinical exercise physiology track take specific liberal arts and science electives that when combined with their EXSS courses allow them to graduate with the prerequisites needed for acceptance into physical therapy, occupational therapy, or physician assistant graduate programs. Students in the fitness management concentration combine their EXSS course with business courses in order to graduate with the background needed for employment in the fitness industry. Students in the strength and conditioning program complete 1-2 credit courses in coaching, assessments for strength and conditioning, weight training for athletes, as well as 6 credits of hands-on practicum along with their other EXSS courses. Students in all concentrations have the opportunity to conduct research, present data at conferences, complete internships and apprenticeships, and attend conferences. Requirements for all students majoring in EXSS include completion of core EXSS courses, required liberal arts science courses, completion of a 240 hour internship, attending a conference, obtaining CPR certification, maintaining a minimum of a 2.0 GPA in all college courses, maintaining a minimum of a 2.5 GPA in the major, and earning a minimum of a 2.0 in Introduction to Exercise Science and Anatomy and Physiology I.

  • Beyond the Peloton: 5 New Ways to Cycle
    Fitness | 10.01.2019 Beyond the Peloton: 5 New Ways to Cycle In the wake of Peloton – which claimed to have sold a bike in every state every day last year – cycling is having more than a heyday. But you don't need to clip in and face the music to get a good workout. It’s less about soul and all about the cycle with so many other options at your feet: Assault AirBike The moniker is a dead giveaway for this strenuous vehicle, but there is nothing better for working toward the burn. The Assault Airbike amplifies resistance as you push, pull and pedal with greater speed and strength – working the whole body simultaneously. Given the intensity, you’ll be grateful it lends itself to interval training, tracking whatever goals you desire (calories, distance, heart rate, time). $699 An Elite version, launched two years ago, boasts a smoother ride and greater resistance against an increase in speed, but also allows muscle isolating workouts. Whether you choose to cycle solely, engaging just the lower half of the bike, or focus on your arms, utilizing only the upper portion of bike, you still feel the assault. $1,299 Wahoo Kickr Bike Newly launched by Wahoo, a tech-fitness company that specializes in indoor bike trainers, the Kickr Bike “blurs the line between virtual and reality…for a level of realism never experienced on an indoor training ride.” The Kickr mimics outdoor riding with its uniQue incline changes in real time. Riding up and over steep mountains and replicating speed on descents (wind in your hair not included) will not only feel authentic but also deliver a more dynamic workout.

    UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-LA CROSSE Graduate Studies COMPARING PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES BETWEEN THE REVOLUTIONARY ROCKET AND A STANDARD BICYCLE A Manuscript Style Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science, Clinical Exercise Physiology Megan A. Storlien College of Exercise Science Clinical Exercise Physiology May, 2013 ABSTRACT Storlien, M.S. Comparing physiological responses between the revolutionary rocket and a standard bicycle. MS in Clinical Exercise Physiology, May 2013, 34pp. (J. Porcari) This study was designed to examine potential differences in the physiological responses between exercising on the Revolutionary Rocket (Rocket) and a standard bicycle. Sixteen subjects (8 males, 8 females) performed one practice session on each bike. Subjects then completed two, 20-minute steady-state rides, one on the Rocket and one on a standard bicycle in random order. The tests were conducted in four, 5-minute stages. The stages were at 8 mph, 10 mph, 12 mph, and 14 mph. During the testing VO2 and caloric expenditure were measured continually. Heart rate was monitored each minute using a heart rate monitor. Rating of perceived effort was assessed using the Borg 6-20 scale at end of each stage. Speed was determined using identical bicycle computers that were affixed to each bicycle. Results indicated that the VO2 and Kcal responses were significantly different between bikes, but only at 12 and 14 mph. The RPE responses were not significantly different between bikes at any of the four speeds. Based upon these results it appears that exercising on the Rocket elicits lower responses than exercising on a standard bicycle in both males and females.

There are several OzHpv and international recumbent events coming and these are listed in the back of Huff. The OzHpv committee and organisers have been based in Canberra and Melbourne for several years and we can only arrange events within a short distance from our bases. That doesn't mean our members can't organise an event closer to their homes with OzHpv's help! Recently OzHpv assisted with Tim Corbett's 6 hour trike record attempt. We have developed an application to help you to organise an event and we invite you to use it! (Generally hire of cycling tracks requires an insurance certificate which we can provide). Hiring tracks for “open” cycling competition is central to OzHpv's aims “to promote HPV's as a way to travel and as a way of reducing polluting motorised transport”. For assistance email [email protected] The Mavericks The Human Powered Vehicle community has always relied on mavericks to try new things, to make bikes and trikes go faster even when it doesn't necessarily makes sense.
